Looking for more great tips and ideas! 5 weeks and counting!!

[Crazy Mother of Two]

Well, I'm down to only 5 weeks till WDW!! I booked back in March so I have had a long time to learn from The Dis Boards!!

I started on the The Dis boards prior to booking because I needed soooo much help!!! I was able to gather alot of information and I wanted to thank all that helped!! (you are the countless many!)


Your (collective) infinite wisdom helped me:
- pick a resort (inc. how to bypass the hotels a/c motion detector system)
- decide which restaurants I should try (inc. that I can have The Coral Reef make a custom menu - free of charge!)
- what souvineers to look for (inc. that when I get the Mr.Potato Head and accessories at DTD that I should buy the 'head' at home and fill up the box with all the stuff I want 'cuz the head takes up too much room!)
- learn about pin trading (inc. that ebay has great deals when you deal with a reputable seller - I won 2 auctions of pins!!)
- discover the wonders of a PhotoPass CD (inc. how to join a group and get my own cd for a fraction of the cost!)
- how much money I should give my children for souvineers
- where to get Croc's cheap
- how to decorate my resort room
and so much more!

I want to make sure that I know all there is to know about WDW!!
If you wouldn't mind sharing your greatest trick, tip or idea I (and many other Dis'ers) would be eternally greatful!!

Thanx in advance!!!

We were just at wdw in July
We went in to the barbershop in mk just before the family fun day parade
While there the barber shop quartet came in and sang the whole time we were getting our hair cut that was our moment this trip

My tips
Interact with mickey ' minnie or who else you see they will respond and everyone will have fun
Interact with castmembers same result
Be a kid you are around a thousand people but they will never see you again
Look in to finding and seeing the small shows
Candy lady in epcot
Moving garbage can in mk
Divine in ak
Street performers in mgm
To name just a few

Try to do the things that no one else is doing
When we were in AK this trip I was walking over a bridge and heard a noise
Under the bridge there were two frogs fighting over a lily pad
Most people just walked by
One lady stopped and asked what I was looking at and when I showed her she stated oh I’m looking for animals have I seen any yet.

and if at all possible wake up tink

My favorite tip is to allow plenty of time for everything. Then you will be so happy if you arrive early or finish early or end up with a break in the day. It's much better to spend a vacation relaxed than stressed and running behind schedule.
